This review is from: Newark Raspberry Pi Model B RASPBRRY-PCBA512 Motherboard/CPU/VGA Combo Broadcom BCM2835 700MHz ARM1176JZFS
Pros:
Cheap
Overclocks easy
Compact Design
Easy Setup
GPIO pins and Python
Cons:
slow not for normal computing (docs, browsing)
license fees to unlock hardware codecs for video
Overall Review:
If you are into micro processors/controls programming it is a nice platform. Also good for vintage video emulator.
Not an everyday cheap computer or tablet. Have not tried media or HTPC abilities. I bought it to learn Python and compliment my Arduino Uno and do breadboard projects and controls.
With lots of effort and determination I got my Rocketfish BT Keyboard/Mouse combo to work.
